Tennis legend Chris Evert says she has ovarian cancer for the 3rd time. It's not as rare as it sounds.

3. I was just about to post about the new Netflix documentary Chris & Martina: The Final Set

It's quite good, especially considering that sports documentaries tend to be trite and avoid more complex issues, but this one examines how Chris's attractiveness was a boon to women's tennis, the impact of Martina's lesbianism on sponsorships, and the way their rivalry effected their friendship, which was pretty touch and go at points. Here's the trailer:

I've been watching lots of old timey women's tennis matches/clips on youtube -- Chris, Martina, Billie Jean, Steffi, Seles, Hingis, Davenport and doubles matches because I'm that much of a tennis nerd and I love seeing doubles from back in the day when it was *doubles* rather than just two players on the same side playing singles, so King-Casals, Wade-Stove, King-Navratilova, Hingis-Novatna, Hingis-Kournikova, etc etc etc -- the only priority being that they played incredible doubles. It's been lots of fun.
